Andrew, that is a magnificent image. We particularly like the way you have preserved detail in the innermost bright core.

It is instructive to compare the core region and immediate surrounds in your image with the 6 megabyte version of the Hubble shot. Your basic structure is spot-on, whereas most folk just show a brilliant shapeless blob. All of us face a risk of converting nebulosity into nonexistent stars when deconvolving or wavelet sharpening, and you have a quite few in there, but for a millionth of the budget, your image of the core is quite the best we've seen.

Best,
MnT
